I started Stories to Shine because I was tired of feeling like something was wrong with me for not being able to “stick” with income ideas. I wanted financial peace — but not at the cost of my kids, my presence, or the life I was actively living. And every time I tried to build something that didn’t fit that reality, I’d eventually stop. Not because I didn’t care — but because it wasn’t sustainable. Over time, I realized the problem wasn’t me. It was the way I was being taught to build. I created this community because I wanted a space where moms don’t have to push through seasons that require softness, flexibility, and presence — and still move forward. A place to slow down, rebuild self-trust, and build income in a way your life can actually hold. I'm building the community I wish I would have had years ago.

Lately, I feel like I’ve been on a talk-show circuit—call after call, conversation after conversation—climbing my way through Star Search. And no matter who I’m talking to, the answer I keep giving is always the same. ⭐"Just show up."⭐ Three simple words. My secret sauce. In fact, they might be the most powerful words a Skooler can carry. Because showing up is deceptively easy—and that’s exactly why people avoid it. “I’ll let you know.” “I’ll see.” “I can’t commit right now.” Those phrases feel safe. Polite. Reasonable.But they quietly shut the door on something extraordinary. When you show up, you don’t just attend a call—you collide with possibility. You might meet a future collaborator. You might meet someone who thinks like you, wants what you want, and ends up building alongside you. What if you meet the one person who fills a gap you didn’t even know existed. You might learn a skill. You might spark an idea. You might change someone’s life—without ever realizing you did. Think of it this way: 😍 You are the gift! 😍 And when you show up, your presence matters. It shifts rooms. It changes conversations. It makes people feel seen. It creates belief. It opens doors—sometimes for you, sometimes for someone else. And the wild part? You receive just as much as you give. So if you’re just starting out—especially if you’re unsure, nervous, or waiting to feel “ready”—here’s my challenge to you: Show up. It’s the one move that keeps paying dividends long after the moment passes. — Nick Nebelsky AI STORYTELLERS

You can follow the strategies. You can build the systems. You can even see traction. And still feel overwhelmed. Because at a certain point, building a thriving business isn’t about learning more —it’s about having the capacity to hold it. The decisions. The consistency. The emotional weight of showing up, leading, and staying in it long-term. That’s where most builders struggle — not because they’re doing it wrong, but because they’re doing it alone. Stories to Shine is a supportive community for moms who are building real businesses and want support not just for what they’re building, but for who they’re becoming. It’s not about another strategy. It’s about clarity, reflection, and being in a room where growth feels sustainable. If you’re already building and want support that helps you become the person who can sustain a thriving business, this might be the space you’ve been looking for.

Here’s one of mine!😇
